Alphabet blanket #2

I loved making this. The border became a labour of love but I’m really glad I persevered with it because it looks fantastic. The little person receiving it will love it too. I think it will be really practical as a throw, but also if Mum wants to use it in the cot.

    Fantastic! it’s so classic. And an appropriate addition to the heirloom blanket collection you seem to be developing.

    I love your alphabet blanket. I also knit one for a friend and would love to knit one for myself but just haven’t bothered. Are you going to knit one for yourself too.
    BTW, so pleased I found your blog!

    Hello - I love this blanket and am about to cast on. The Debbie Bliss website no longer lists the errata for this pattern. Did you have any problems? I have found some people saying to cast on a different number of stitches and also that row 11 has a mistake. Can you verify this for me? Thank you so much.

    Hi
    Love this blanket a real family heirloom. I would love the pattern to make for my first grandchild, due in July. If’s a girl I’m also giving her my bed doll I’ve had for 40 years.
    Could you please tell me where I could download this great pattern.
    Thanks
    Take care
    Denise

    You did a beautiful job knitting this
    blanket.
    Could you please tell me where I could
    download this great pattern.
    I have 3 friends who are having babies
    and I think they would really love to receive one.
    Please also let me know if there are any changes to the pattern.
    Thank you it would be really appreciated.

    The pattern revisions/errata are listed here if you have the first edition of the book from 2002. We understand the newer editions have been corrected according to Debbie’s website.

    The pattern is available in the Debbie Bliss Baby Knits Book, and isn’t available as a download.
